OK, I'll see what I can do about this. In the mean time, we've started distributing the tecio *source* as well, but that is not default yet because I haven't verified it with all compilers… But can you try instead $ ./configure <whatever else> --disable-tecplot --enable-tecio This will turn off the binary blob nonsense and compile the requisite symbols from source, getting them into the libMesh libraries proper. -Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
